  2. There was a Benjamin Blum listed in the 1910 city directory for Calumet, under the headings for saloons. There is also a 1910 census showing him and his wife, Bertha. Benjamin was born about 1863 in Russia, and the 1910 census reports his statement that he arrived in the US in 1881.

    There is a possibility that the couple was married in Chicago, so perhaps their nephew Albert sent his postcard from there?

  3. I'm stumped on this one - The name just doesn't seem to "resolve" into any one that fits - although Jacqi's guess would be as good as any.
